    Ditto. My Win 7 x64 machine updated this morning fine on the otherhand though.

    Do you think there might be one or two people out there who might take great pleasure in handing LR his $$$ after he's done it to so many, so often? Or just Brawl the Crystal Titan to death, for the sheer of it? Just a little?
    Not just him.. but all of them. The ticks of damage from the temporary god mode powers were the same no matter what the power I used so Brawl was pretty much just as fast as anything else. And entertaining as hell.

    Have you swapped alignments? Also, open arcs doesn't mean open missions. You need to check there are no contacts with books beside their names. Apparently arcs from the other alignment that you can't run or see also count.

I think I should be able to be able to brush aside Statesman or Lord Recluse's flunkies like so much dust.It should be very similar to Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet.

    I took them all using Brawl and it took just as long as when I used other powers. It looks to be as most of the damage is done by the 3 extra powers you get. Was fun though.

    640 Merits and 3 shards from that raid. Highly enjoyable. Seemed to never end.

    Infinite spawn anything is a bad mechanic for this type of mission.
    Again, they aren't infinite. Close the portals, they stop coming. Do it one at a time and clean up the Mob, rinse, lather, repeat. Take out the first 3, pull the EB's, mission over.

    When the Co-op fails... are you all definetly talking to the contact before the mission? I know I forgot to on one round and I think someone forgot to talk to lady grey too.

    Sorry, more info. I have seen posts (will find link in a sec) saying if you haven't done the Midnighters Arc you can't do one of his missions so he won't speak to you. Apparently cos you can't go to Cimeora. Sounds a bit fishy to me as you don't, you just go to another instance, but hey, anything is possible.

    Edit:

If you haven't done that arc, you can't finish Ramiel's, so he won't give it to you unless the arc is finished. It's the closest thing the game has to a "able to access Cimerora" flag, but if you get up to the "speak to Imperious" mission and don't talk to him, you can access Cim but haven't finished the arc.

    These ones specifically I don't know, but I would imagine so.

    1. Once the "portal" has spotted you and started spawning, will it stop for ANY reason, such as if it loses sight and/or aggro of you?

    2. Is there some limit of enemies beyond which the portal will stop spawning, or will it keep spawning until it crashes the server?

    3. What determines how many enemies it spawns?

    4. Do ALL portals scale down to lieutenants if they were originally designed as bosses?
    I can't answer any of your questions sorry, but I do know if you hold one then it'll stop spawning.
  12. The people, all the people. From the Devs to the knowledgable forumers (the legendary 7 and all their helpful sidekicks) to the people they help. Well, most of them.

    Flying... just flying around the city, especially with the Ultra Mode.

    That grins me nicely back to the targetting issue.
    Again, it's not hard. It's just tedious and cheap.

    There's your problem right there. Take out the portals first. At least the first 3. Then you can pull Holtz and Horonree without problem.

    4) Being able to live long enough under the onslaught of fire AND the angry EB punching you in the face.

    And this is on a soft-capped to everything Bot/Traps MM with a welter-weight of IOs. My defences were simply facing THAT MUCH firepower that more shots were getting through than not. And I have never seen my AoEs hit the target cap before.
    So don't upgrade your Bots, leaving them with their Single Target attacks. Their opening volley, from range, should disable one of the portals. Fall back, clean up the mobs that follow, rinse, lather, repeat. My Bots isn't up to 50 yet so I can't test this theory, but the portals went down with a single snipe so 6 bots should be able to remove it.
  15. I'm confused by the talk of endless no reward minions. They always stopped for me once I took out the portals.
  16. Or just kill the portals? Then clean up their spawns?

    Note thats not open missions but open Arcs. Check how many active contacts have books next to their name. There is a limit of 5 major arcs. Also, if your character has changed alignments I believe open arcs on the other side also count so may cause trouble.

    Maybe cos all you have said to date is I don't want to do the arc to unlock the content without offering any other way to unlock it.

    Are you sure you had collaborative mission set to accept? You probably do, but worth checking.

    This is WAI. You need to complete an open arc as you have to many on the go.

    I have had this too. Although I got the 'this acc is already logged in' message. My best guess is that the system actually automatically logs you back in rather than just kicking back to the character select screen. I would guess this is happening a little to quick for the log out sometimes as my password was already entered.

    The fitness pool showed up when I did the slots. Not before. Check then.

    I think it depends on whether they are major or minor arcs. There is a limit of 3 major I believe.

    5 now:

    There was a predownload about... umm 4 weeks ago or so.

    I tried to take wednesday and thursday off, but they denied me
    So I had to settle with just thursday (friday is already my day off a week).
    They did say a good while back they have been working hard to have it out pretty close to the I19 release. I don't know if they'll handle the Alpha Slot by then, but fingers crossed.
